Eager to avoid a makeup meltdown this season? Ask a drag queen for help.

Three cast standouts from “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 6, now streaming on Paramount+, shared their tips for a sweat-free hot girl summer — and their advice is not to be “mist.”

For Jiggly Caliente, who also stars as Veronica in FX’s “Pose,” a good makeup setting spray like MAC’s Prep + Prime Fix+ ($29) is key.

To be clear, however, Caliente doesn’t sweat: “I glisten,” she quipped.

Ra’Jah O’Hara isn’t so lucky. “I sweat like a big ol’ man. Every single time … drenched,” the performer admitted.

“But you know what? A lot of powder never hurts. So if you [apply] powder first, it’ll never fall off. My face never falls off — although it melts, okay?”

Short of powdering up a storm, of course, you could always get crafty with your costume, as Pandora Boxx pointed out.

“Just build a dress [with] a fan that fans your hoo-ha the entire time,” the third-time “Drag Race” competitor joked.
